Version: 1.0-beta4 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040422) OS: Linux first of all, thanks for the greatest audio player. it would be cool to have an option in amaroK to pause/stop audio output while a screensaver is running ... i often leave my computer while sound is running, and sometimes i come back really late at night or i have to ssh from somewhere to my computer and stop the audio player because i dont want my neighbors to get angry. so it would be nice, if amaroK has an option to pause and/or stop audio output when a kde screensaver starts, and continue (configurable?) when the screensaver quits. just a idea, best regards, simon.
As there's this plugin: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=21998/ (and people can improve/change it the way they like), I'm closing this request.
I was just about to file a similar bug and saw this. Yet the "plugin" linked to does not exist. Can someone advise an updated url? My main wish is for pausing on screen lock, and for anyone else wishing this it is possible if you script it: disable the ctrl-alt-l screenlock shortcut make a bash script executable, say screenlock.sh: #!/bin/bash dcop amarok player pause dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock Then make a menu entry for that script, and add the keyboard shortcut of ctrl-alt-l to the menu entry. Would be nice to have this functionality as an option in amaroK. (kick ass music player, by the way! love it!!) Cheers!
